Stop the Presses: What Happened to Alpha-Bits?

I know we all want to know about Britney and we’re still watching to find out who is going to win Idol, but while your attention is diverted, Post Cereals have pulled the wool over your eyes. I can’t find a box of Alpha-Bits cereal anywhere in Chicago. None. After interviewing the Jewel manager, he said they don’t even have a price for it, making him assume it has been discontinued. Um? Hello? How does Alpha-Bits get discontinued? Do people hate it or do they put up with it, just like every 80’s breakfast cereal. Golden Crisp, Captain Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, Apple Jacks, all there. I demand to get to the bottom of this! Also, I think it is quite ironic that the one kids cereal that actually has an incy-bincy ounce of educational value (alphabet) is out but the Coco-Reeses hybrid is still kickin.
